Last year it was a jungle in my garden,the gourd plants had taken over and I was at a loss as to what to do. This book has helped me 100% on my cultivation of gourds. It covers trellising, pruning, common pests and problems. A great book for the novice or seasoned gardener who might need a reminder of a few things (like me).

This is an excellant book. It gives you very good explaination on growing gourds and what you should need and the different types of gourds. Also, prunning, types of fertilizers. Instruction on making arbors, trellis for the gourds. It's a wonderful book that every gourdhead must have.

This really is a complete book for gourds. Gourds for food, crafting and Medicine. It tells you all about planting, pests, diseases and common remedies. Lots of suppliers for seeds and dried gourds as well. Discriptions of the grown gourds and pictures -- Great pictures through out and well done drawings. 121 pages of pure intrest for the gourd lover!

As a novice gourd grower, I found this book to be an excellent, easy to follow guide on all aspects of gourd growing. The photos were a big plus! This is THE book for beginning gourders. If you can only buy one book on gourding, this is the one!

Super book with answers to tough gardening questions for gourd growers. Helpful, detailed & practical. I always return to this book, so much useful information.

Great guide for home growers of gourds. You can't miss following these recommendations.

I love this book! I have been a gourd grower and have done some crafting of gourds for about 5 or so years -- this is my favorite book to refer back to, year after year. Easy to read, covers just about everything you would need to know about growing gourds but not too detailed where you get lost in it...........I definitely recommend this book to any gourd lover!

Instead of borrowing this book, I just had to own it. The book has all of the need-to-know information for both the casual and serious gourd gardener. You will be reminded of how to prep the soil (I always want to be sure I'm getting things started under the best conditions), how to grow the seeds indoors (for transplantation) or directly in the garden, care during the growing season, including how to prune and, of course, when harvest. There is even more you can learn from this book. It is simply the best book on the subject.

I enjoyed this book. It was most informative. I have had gourd growing challenges and this book gave me some answers that I needed. The pictures were great! It was wonderful to see what one can help mother nature create!

If you want to grow gourds, you need this book. I have had great luck with keeping my gourds under control, while still getting the most gourds off of my vines. I use gourds in my art, and this book gave me great ideas for how to get my gourds to maintain the correct shapes that I need.
